Hope is an act of defiance.
I choose to act defiantly. I commit rebellion. I am an instigator.
Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer by far. The five year survival rate for lung cancer is 17%. 83 people out of 100 will die less than five years after diagnosis.
I was diagnosed with lung cancer 4 years and 364 days ago.
Diagnosed five years ago, less a day. I not only hope to … I plan to wake up tomorrow morning!
Never give up! Choose defiance. Choose to believe. Act in hope.
If a lung cancer patient can hope, maybe other people can hope too! Join me in hoping. Join the Conspiracy of Hope! Dare to act defiantly.
Hope!
